I shouldn't have to do this! And I'm getting madder at the increasing frequency - Ruby loves this woman and when she or her mother of similar voice have it out, Ruby takes it personally. She won't play fetch or eat a bully stick but instead scurries inside - makes me sad. I was afraid of the warning...

I hear ya - Ruby has refused a bully stick before during an 'episode'. Yes, I have a soft dog but it pisses me off that she gets so upset over just overhearing this nonsense!! I ALMOST called the cops today, esp. when the dad left and the mom was left home alone to take it all by herself but it happ...

Poor sweet, sensitive (soft) Ruby takes it personally when my neighbor, who is her primary dog sitter (maybe 4 times a year) goes aggro and screams at her family...

For the record - raw veggies go right thru - my Ruby poops obvious carrot bits. If you are after nutritional benefits and just not 'cheap snacks', you have to cook them in order to break down their cell walls since dogs don't digest cellulose.

Not today, UCL -- but sadly, I just rediscovered that I had previously bought it (and put it somewhere) for about a year -- was going to guy a copy and then I found it.... that's sad that I had it and forgot to read it... Thanks for the reminder to get off my butt and utilize an already paid-for res...
